Considering the increasing mobility of our society, the innovations presented every year by the furniture industry appear more and more anachronistic. Particularly when it comes to chairs and seating furniture in general, a stroll through the fairs in Cologne and Milan makes you feel as if you are back in the spheres of the blessed home of the pre-digital era. Elements geared towards the need for mobility are a hard find. On the contrary, there is a downright dogged cultivation of the idea of retreating into one’s own four walls. That comes as no surprise considering that most of the protagonists dominating the current world of design and production have been shaped in their design orientation by completely static living situations. In other words, changes towards a nomadic understanding of behavior can only be expected of the members of a generation that is more or less nomadic itself, i.e., of today’s twenty-somethings. The “seating” object “ToGo” by the three students, Janina Capelle, Laura Kluge, and Marie Stein, shows what something of this nature could look like.
